%X the longshore distribution of the benthic macrofauna on cassino beach, rio grande do sul, brazil were studied during one year (from june 2004 to may 2005) on a monthly basis sampling. three sites were chosen 50 m apart from each other. on each site three transects, 2 m apart from each other were anchored. each transect extended from the base of the primary dunes to approximately 1 m depth into the infralittoral. the distances to the sampling levels in each transect were 20 m to the upper limit of the swash zone, from which the distances were of 10 m. the longshore variation of major species and community was highlighted in a 50 m to 100 m range in some occasions. this variation occurred, probably, due to the water level elevation because the meteorological factors.
